David Richardson (Birthday Party) 29 Mar 2025
10/10
Last week, I hired Jeremy to perform for us at a private party, celebrating a major birthday. First of all it has to be said that my arrangements with Jeremy by e-mail were a breeze, he responded quickly and nothing it seemed was too much trouble. I asked if he could play five songs as part of the set which he duly did and he was happy to learn a further two of my choosing if required. The set itself was a range of covers from Johnny Cash to George Ezra with the Foo Fighters and Abba in between. He encouraged some audience participation and had us all providing backing vocals, tapping our feet and dancing in no time at all. He even got two of us to sing (badly and off key) along with him. He was professional, warm, engaging and made it a truly unforgettable evening. I am no music expert but I think Jeremy has a warm and colourful voice, is a great guitar player and deserves to be heard more widely. Even if you can't hire him for a private party you should try and catch him playing around the Ayr / Prestwick area. This man deserves a bigger audience. David R
